[COM] Communication issue with Thorlabs CCS200 Spectrometer using USB
conronc opened this issue · comments
Instrument details
- Model: CCS200
- Communication: USB
- Link to the documentation (if available): https://www.thorlabs.com/drawings/7dbb2d3cd9e64908-C8D671DA-D634-45C7-015901E6482AFB05/CCS200-Manual.pdf
Output of pyvisa-info
I'm unsure what this is referring to, there is no cmd line pyvisa-info prompt that is available by means of the anaconda powershell pip installation I used.
I ran the following basic script:
import pyvisa
rm = pyvisa.ResourceManager()
print(rm.list_resources())
in Spyder, I get the following output:
('ASRL1::INSTR', 'ASRL3::INSTR', 'ASRL4::INSTR')
However, I have a CCS200 connected via USB to this computer. I can confirm that the device exists by using NI VISA interactive control (or NI MAX) at address USB0::0x1313::0x8089::M00723454::RAW, however this device is clearly not listed. This item should be controllable by VISA so it should not be in line with other errors in which the device is not VISA controlled (e.g. NI DAQs)
apologies I posted this to the pyvisa-py package instead of pyvisa, closing and migrating.
